Above the vast sea, a small fleet was walking alone on the sea.

This is a small fleet of three-layer main warships, several auxiliary warships and two semi-submersible ships. If these warships parked in the port, they looked like giants, but when they were sailing on the boundless sea, they immediately looked extremely small.

Fan Xin stood on the towering podium, pressing his hands on the side of the boat, and stared at the layers of white foam in the distance with a little sad look. The sea breeze was so cold that even the sea birds could not see a few. The scene of the big fish that I could see when I went out to sea in the past was even more invisible.

The clouds in the sky were very low, and the whole sky was like a big pot of inverted shape, which made him feel a little breathless.

In Fan Xin's view, this journey was a life-and-death journey. Even the navy commander Ning Zefeng was not optimistic about this action and was only worthy of a few warships like him. This was obviously a rhythm that he would not feel too distressed even if he couldn't go back.

This made Fan Xin feel a little worried.

With this little force, if he met the Ming army navy at sea, he would have no other way out except jumping into the sea to feed fish and shrimp. Fan Xin knew that he was on the blacklist of the Ming army navy. If Ning Zefeng was the number one hated by the Ming army navy, then there was no doubt that he was ranked second.

The first main warship of the Ming army was sunk, which was his masterpiece. This was of course a great military achievement in Daqi, but in the direction of Ming Dynasty, it was naturally a deep hatred. This time he attacked alone and went deep into the inner sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming army discovered it, Fan Xin would not think that the other party would let him go.

The only comfort is that the sea is so big that the other party may not be able to find themselves. In the past, the other party's warships were running around in the seas of Daqi. Couldn't they find opportunities to take advantage of the situation? Maybe the Ming people were dark under the light. He comforted himself, and they must have thought that they would dare to go deep into the Ming Dynasty's sea border with this little force.

Fan Xin received an order to go to Wuzhou, Ming Dynasty to pick up a group of people back to Qi. If Ning Zefeng had not brought out the emperor's imperial edict, Fan Xin would have thought that Ning Zefeng would find an opportunity to let him die. But since it was the emperor's imperial edict, I was afraid there would be a lot of things in it. Otherwise, if only a few people, there would be a lot of opportunities to go to Qi by land. Why is it necessary to send a fleet to take risks?

For the Qi Navy, even such a small fleet is precious. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is still flesh? Compared with the powerful Ming Navy, every warship and every sailor of Qi is precious.

Looking back at his fleet, in addition to the sailors, there were 1,500 Marine members who followed him, which was also the reason why Fan Xin was puzzled. He just picked up people, ran away when he received them. Why did he take the Marines? Is it worth it? Is it worth it?

Fan Xin couldn't figure it out, but in the end he could only attribute it to his insufficient level. Many secrets were probably understood by himself when he arrived at the ground. As for now, let's keep his head shut and go all the way forward. I hope that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would bless him not to meet the Ming army navy.

The Qi Navy is becoming stronger day by day, and Fan Xin is the clearest about this. Thanks to the strong support of the court and the emperor, the Qi Navy has finally collected all the warships needed by a fleet. The fifteen main warships and more auxiliary ships are not enough to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on, but it is enough to restrain most of the Ming army's navy. It is naturally unrealistic to fight the Ming people in a decisive battle, but naval combat is more complicated than land combat. Sometimes, it cannot be said with the number of warships.

The current Qi Navy has already launched a fatal attack on some important ports and seaside cities of the Ming State, which forced the Ming people to station fleets in these places to protect them. This has also greatly reduced the harassment of the Ming State Navy and Marine Corps in the past year.

Imitating the Navy of Ming Kingdom, the Navy of Qi Kingdom also established a naval marine. Sometimes in Fan Xin's view, the navy of both sides was almost cast from the same mold. Not only was the same organization, but the weapons were similar.

Since Qi made a breakthrough in the skills of iron smelting and steelmaking, the Ming Dynasty's thunder fire, new catapults, crossbows and other weapons can finally be imitated on a large scale, and all the warships were also the first batch of new weapons to be equipped with these new weapons. It may have shortcomings compared to the Ming people, but compared with the past, it has made too much progress.

Fan Xin did not expect to have worked for the Ming army in a head-on battle. When Fan Xin thought of the huge bodies of the Ming army's five-layer warships, he felt cold.

This is an asymmetric war. What Qi needs to do is regional barriers, not a decisive battle at sea. In the end, the two sides will still be the army of the two countries.

The cold wind blew on his face, like a handful of knives cutting. Fan Xin silently wrapped his cloak tightly and turned his head toward the cabin. The fleet was still moving forward silently, heading towards the road ahead that everyone was uncertain.

The atmosphere in Huzhou has become increasingly tense.

Not only the prefecture city, but also many people were rushing toward the prefecture city. For some reason, the government did not take any measures to prevent it, allowing these dangerous people to flow to the prefecture city.

There is an iconic big family in Huzhou silk spinning, which is Tu's textile. Tu's family was originally a silk master in Chu. When Geng Jingming, who is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, ran to Jiangnan when he was a businessman, he came to the south. The first person to come to Tu was the Tu. The two joined forces to control the production and sales of silk. At that time, Tu's family was the most glorious time. All the prices in the silk industry chain were almost decided. Later, Geng Jingming was summoned by the Ming Emperor and ended all the business at hand. Among them, the shares that cooperated with Tu were sold to Tu.

With such a relationship, after Chu returned to the Ming Dynasty, Tu Changming, the head of the Tu family, naturally became the president of the Ming Silk Federation.

Tu's Textiles is the first factory to order steam engines and new looms. It is also the first factory to cut off textile workers and silk reeling workers on a large scale.

Now, the first to besieged is naturally Tu Textile.
